Girlfriend took my Samsung... Any 37/39" TV's compatible with DVI / 1080p?

I used to have my Macmini hooked up to my 32" Samsung via the HDMI-VGA adapter.
EX girlfriend took my tv, and im wondering how things have improved in terms of compatibility between MacMini and and newer LCDHD TV's that have actual DVI inputs on them?
Anyone have a great setup they would recommend before I succumb to another VGA connection?
Thanks...

Congrats! VGA is always an option, although vachine seemed to want to go the DVI route. For digital purists (of which I'm one) that's usually the preference, although a VGA connection yields great results too, in my experience.
Enjoy! Mac Mini's as HTPC's are a wonderful thing. I've got one hooked up to a projector (with a 94" screen) and another to a 50" plasma. Both are connected to my network and I've digitized all my movies, so I can call any one of them up on either display with a few clicks of the remote. And, of course, the same goes for my music and photos.

  • Is there any external storage that is compatible with the ipad2

    is there any external storage that is compatible with the ipad2

    the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
    I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
    Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
    my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
    any suggestions?

  • My Mac is unable to mount any external drive which is compatible with windows.

    It read the drives but doesn't mount them so they are pretty much useless. It tells me to repair it but the repair option is never available. This only happens for drives which are supposed to be compatible with both windows and macintosh. Plz Help

    NTFS formated drives can only be mounted as read only natively under a standard HFS+ journal OSx system.
    You can however copy files across to OSx !
    BTW OSx will normally automatically mount any drive in finder irrespective of the format . It doesn't try to format them automatically unlike Windows sometimes tries to.
    You need to install Macfuse depending on your Osx version to both read and write to NTFS drives and also need to install Macdave on Windows PCs to read and write to HFS+ formatted drives
    If you transfer files between both systems regularly make sure you have a FAT/exFAT formatted partition on any shared drive as both OSx and Windows can read and write to this natively.
    exFAT is simply FAT updated to allow larger files and partitions  than the traditional limitations associated with FAT formats.

  • Any "Object Wipes" that are compatible with iM 6?

    I seriously don't know why I alway jump to the next version of iM so quickly...I only end up getting burned.
    So it looks like the "Object Wipes," in Slick 9 don't work with iM 6. Are there any alternative plugins I can use for this effect?

    Hi Harry:
    How about this one?

  • Any Recommendations for an HDTV Compatible with the Mini

    I'm looking to get a 40" HDTV and have been trying to find information on which ones work best with a late 2009 mini. Also, is it necessary to use the mini displayport connection, or can the mini dvi connection be used?

    One thing to keep in mind is that neither the mini-DVI (D) port nor the mini-DisplayPort on the mini carry an audio signal, they are strictly video. So you will need to think of alternatives if you want to get the audio to the TV.
    If you have a TV with HDMI ports then you can use this device from Monoprice to incorporate the audio & video output from the Mac mini for HDMI input on your TV.

  • Is there any Blu-ray Player Software compatible with my iMac OS X Mountain Lion?

    I want to watch a Blu-ray Movie on my iMac(OS X Mountain Lion), so I need a best Blu-ray Player Software.

    You need third party software, Macgo Blu-ray Player can deal with the work you mentioned. As for the Mac Moutain Lion(10.8), I check their website and it is said that the Mac OS 10.8 are supported.
    Refers to their product page: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/features.htm

    If you install the Flashgot add-on you can use Free Download Manager with Firefox 6. If you want a download manager as an add-on, install the DownThemAll extension (you will want to do this if you don't use Windows).

  • How to produce a HD video compatible with a Samsung Smart TV

    Using Compressor I need to produce a HD video compatible with an Smart Samsung TV.
    I have tried many formats, but no one is readable. Could you help ?
    Celes

    I did it with FCPX as mp4 without compressor.  I put it on a USB key and it was possible to see it on my Samsung connecting the key to a USB port of the TV.
    I have not the video with me now and cannot give you more info about the exact codec. For sure it was taken with an Olympus camera at 1080p and edited with european standards. The Samsung was bought in Germany.
    Nothing to do with your question but only as a tip: Samsung TV has a proprietary Formatting for external HD to be used for recording. They have to be formatted by the TV and any video you record on this HD from the TV can be seen only with the same TV set.  I found no way to edit or copy the recordings even to make a private backup.
    For this reason I prefer to use an external receiver (Clarketech) to be free to edit the recordings.

  • Is Samsung Galaxy Ace compatible with Macbook Pro?

    Hi everyone.  I am interested in buying a Samsung Galaxy Ace (Android 2.2 Froyo) but I dont have any idea if its Mac-compatible.  I tried searching the net for answers but can seem to find anything so far...
    Hope you can help me with this issue guys...Thanks!

    DavidGoodnight, I hope FoneSync for Android by Nova Media is the one you are looking for.  Their site says you just search for the app in the Android marketplace, install in your device and it wil just automatically download into your mac after syncing.  I haven't tried it myself because I have given up on buying the Samsung Ace because of compatibility issues but based on feedbacks from other users in this forum, this is the app you are looking for.
    Here is the link for the app: http://www.novamedia.de/en/mac-fonesync-android.html. By the way, the app cannot be used to sync tablets running Android OS 3.x
    I hope this answers your question.

  • Is there ANY car stereo that REALLY works with an iPhone 3GS?

    Right now I use an older iRiver MP3 player with an older Pioneer headunit in my car. I have to control the player directly, which really ***** when you want to find a certain song while driving. Very unsafe.
    I want to integrate a digital media player with a car stereo (to be controlled with a wireless remote or steering wheel remote). I also plan on getting an iPhone 3GS hopefully in the next few months. I don't want to mess around with multiple devices, so I would prefer to put my music on the iPhone and use it as an iPod.
    I've been looking at several car stereos from Pioneer, Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood, etc. that come with iPod control built-in and a USB cable for connecting the iPod or iPhone to the stereo. Most of these advertise iPhone compatibility, but many reviews I've read says the iPhone compatibility, especially the 3GS w/ newer software/firmware is spotty at best.
    I really don't want to deal with issues like this, so I'm wondering if there's any particular models that really work WELL with an iPhone 3GS, preferably in the $350-under range.

    I went to the Apple Store and they told me that there wasn't a cord that would allow me to play my music from my iPhone to my car stereo.
    So...
    I bought an iPod because I wanted my music in my car.
    I also bought this Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Auto Charger for my iPod as well. I found a radio station and it worked perfectly.
    I thought to myself, why not try to hook my iPhone up to that cable and see if it worked.
    Well it did and so I took my iPod back and now am able to use my iPhone in my car using the Kensington cord!!
    Here is the link to that cord:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=F92 F7BFD&nplm=TD145LL/A
    It just goes into your cigarette lighter and then you set a radio station on the cord and then tune onto the radio station on your car.
    Hope that helps,
    Sam
    P.S.- Your iPhone is going to tell you that the product is not compatible with the iPhone and would like to know if you want to put it into airplane mode.
    Well just select "NO" and then your phone will work like normal and play your music through your speakers and it will still be able to receive calls while listening to your music, the music will just fade out while you are driving and allow you to answer your call and then once you are done, continue playing your song right where it left off.

  • The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol. My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this. Any idea how it can be fixed???

    Hello,
    You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
    However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy.  There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
    I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player?  Not  knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
    And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

    How do I access websites that warn: "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...."? When I try to download any alternate browser, all I get is another warning that the alternate is "not compatible with your operating system." Is Firefox preventing this? The site listed below is a job application site. I've had this same problem with other job application sites also.

    There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
    The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
    There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
    See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
    You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.

  • I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

    I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
    The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
    PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

    Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
    I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:
